Libya is 97 percent Sunni Muslim. It is the state religion and under Qadhafi was seen as more moderate. The recent unrest has brought more radical groups to the forefront and it is uncertain what stand the new government will take on religious freedom. The small number of Christians in Libya is mostly immigrants from other nations. Few indigenous Libyans are followers of Jesus. Christian evangelism is illegal.
- Give thanks for slowly more Libyans are accepting Christ in spite of the probability of persecution. Thank God for Radio, satellite television, and the internet which offer viable and effective ways to evangelize and disciple.
- Pray for the tiny Libyan Church to be united and established despite intense persecution.
- Pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to moderate and extremist Muslims alike.
- Pray for the success of today’s Quarterly Membership Meeting at the AHE.
